Cruise down I-10W. Get off on Copia. Turn left and go under the bridge (on copia) (back under I-10). Turn left again immediately on Gateway East. In about 50yrds you'll see Moto El Paso on your right. Park. Go inside. Get your mind blown. Big a bike. Never regret it.
I absolutely LOVE Moto El Paso. This store is the exclusive seller of all Piaggio group bikes in El Paso. Yes, that's right, Piaggio, as in Italian bikes. Yea, if the high pitched whiny 600cc (very fast) but very typical Japanese bikes are your thing, then this isn't your place. This store features some absolute MONSTERS! They carry cruisers, cafe racers, scooters, off-road quads and buggy's, and Super Sports bikes! Yea... SUPER bikes dude.
Moto El Paso has a huge show room floor in which you'll find some amazing machines. They sell the iconic Royal Enfield, the historic and always popular Vespa brand scooters, Arctic Cat adventure machines, the stunningly beautiful Moto Guzzi cruisers and racers, the eye catching (and easily BEST looking stock exhaust design) MV Augusta superbikes, and of course, my personal favorite, the 54 World Title winning Aprilia brand. From adventure bikes to naked bikes, From the RSV4 RR/RF to the RSV4 Factory and the Tuono, THIS is where you will find your Aprilia. THIS is where I found MY Aprilia (1000cc , 201hp RSV4 RR).
The facility is large, clean, and impressive. The ENTIRE staff is amazing. This isn't a "chain" or franchise type dealership. This is a specialty dealer that carries the Italian superbikes. The staff gives the impression of being less of a "dealership", and more like a family. Seriously, everyone there is so awesome and friendly. Very knowledgeable, not pushy, very accommodating. Tracy (the owner) is a GREAT dude! Mike (runs the parts area) is always there, always friendly and very helpful. The ladies that work there are just great, and I feel bad because I don't know any of their names, but they remember who I am every time I go in and always great me with a smile and ask how I'm doing. Even the mechanics there, same thing. They'll stop and chat you up. Shoot the BS with you. Talk about your bike, their bikes, whatever. Sometimes I go in there just to say hi! I feel very welcomed there.
They have a service department and a clothing / gear / safety equipment area (where Mike works). When you want to order a part, OEM or after market, Mike will sit there and go online with you to vendors that are trusted and recommended and sit for hours (trust me I always take forever to decide) until you have the right part that you want and works with your bike. Since buying my BEAST, I've order / purchased (through Mike and Moto El Paso):
*Competition Werkes GP exhaust
*Fender Eliminator kit
*CRG Shorty (black and red) brake lever and clutch lever
*T-Rex Frame Sliders
They have an awesome service crew too, and they have installed all my stuff for me once it comes in. Through another company (ZLT Graphics), I've ordered a CUSTOM decal kit that will make my bike all black/red/chrome and similar to a RF but also very unique. Because it's obviously important to place on super correctly, the guys at Moto El Paso are going to install the graphics kit as well (for a small fee of course. But the work is quality).
Now don't get me wrong; I love and very much appreciate / respect the more typical Japanese brand sports bikes. There's NOT MUCH out there that I like the looks of better than a Suzuki GSX-R 750. That blue/white/green color scheme is fresh. And the Yamaha R1? The only bike that CAN be compared to my Aprilia in the Liter bike (super bike) category. Hell, I was alllllll set to buy a very pretty Honda CBR 600RR. But by a stroke of fate, that shop was closed on a Monday, and i was off, so I drove down to Moto El Paso. Tracy (whom I didn't know was the owner at the time) introduced himself and 24hrs later I owned a BRAND NEW Aprilia RSV4 RR for a deal that is so unbelievable, I'm not even gonna say it lol.
While they don't have a huge selection of clothing, they definitely have everything you need. From them I've bought 2 pairs of Alpine Stars gloves (summer and winter), an amazing Alpine Stars riding jacket (Andes V2), and an Icon Alliance GT helmet. They also carry a ton of HJC helmets. Very fairly priced too. And if they don't have it, they'll order it for you.
If you are ready to step UP in your bike game, Moto El Paso is a place you should consider. Just as Ferrari and Lamborghini are too cars, Aprilia and MV Augusta are to bikes. Go check it out. #beAracer read more
